Chapter 31 Buying Stones in Tibet
Hong Tao has explained all the things that should be explained, he took the time to exchange the formation, and after strengthening it with malicious values, there are only a few dozen malicious values left.
But there's no need to worry about the malicious value, the system said at the time, he is recruiting black physique, and he is afraid that the malicious value will not come?
Two days passed, and Hong Tao went to the old place to find Lao He.
Lao He sold the previous four stones, and he was very obedient to wait for Hong Tao here, he also wanted to see if Hong Tao could pick out good stones, if he really could, he would follow Hong Tao's ass in the future, and he would not worry about making money.
"How to get there? By train? Hong Tao didn't ask how to go to Tibet at all, anyway, how to go to love, anyway, there is Lao He's guide.
"I'm going to pull it myself, and this time I'll drive and be your driver for free." Lao He knows that he has no vision, so he also earns a little difference in the price of round-trip transportation, transports it himself, sells it himself, and in the past few years, in addition to opening the stone, his hand is more stable, but there is really not much progress.
Lao He led Hong Tao to his own house, his family is from other places, and now they live in the suburbs, there is a blue pickup truck parked in the yard, this family of three, all supported by Lao He.
"You're all running on your own? Yes. Hong Tao patted Lao He on the shoulder, sure enough, it is not easy for anyone to make money, it is almost winter, and he has to drive into Tibet.
Many stone dealers like to run there in Tibetan jade, but these large jade mines are controlled by the family chaebol.
The so-called gambling stones, that is, the big families of the people have given the rough stones to the experts to see them in general, or put them on the market after research, and the stones in the hands of these small traders are not worth too much money.
It's just that the human eye is not a machine after all, and it is impossible to achieve 100% discrimination, and the masters with that ability are extremely limited, and their energy is not enough to look at every stone, so they can only roughly sample and infer it. It is precisely for this reason that there are many people who want to gamble their luck and dream of getting rich.
According to Lao He, it takes about five days to get to Tibet, which is the reason why there is only one driver, and at night they have to stop and rest, or get out of the car to find a hotel, or sleep directly in the car.
Taking advantage of this time, Hong Tao slowly studied the formation, and at the same time strengthened the true qi in his body through exercises.
The so-called cultivation does not necessarily require real meditation and retreat, as long as you can calm down and follow a certain method, you can draw qi into the body, which is relatively convenient.
The only flaw is that he has been in the car, Hong Tao has no place to get malicious value, he can't always play the old idea, after all, driving is risky, and driving needs to be cautious.
Lao He is not a loss of old drivers, and it only took a little more than four days for them to reach their destination.
After getting out of the car, Hong Tao looked around, the environment here was indeed a lot worse than he imagined, and the Tibetan land in his mind was the kind of spotless and unspoiled fairyland on earth.
But now? Desert red cliffs, everywhere have been cut down, leaving only bare tree stumps.
"Are you sure there's rough stone here?" Hong Tao now even suspects that Lao He has pitted him, not to mention the rough stone in this place, and the mine has not seen it. ”
"Don't worry, this is the joint location we have agreed on, these mines are not allowed to enter, and I have been doing it for a long time." Co-author Lao He secretly sold the stones back from here, otherwise these stones were circulated in the market by those big chaebol forces, and there would not be much oil and water left for them small traders.
Lao He made a phone call, and it didn't take long for someone to come and pick them up, the person who came was a Northwest man, driving a broken pickup truck, wearing a leather jacket that had already lost some skin, a beard, and messy hair, with a thick Northwest accent.
"Who is this? Your relatives? As soon as he saw Hong Tao, the bearded man pointed at him and asked.
Lao He hurriedly nodded, and said busily: "Yes, yes, yes, the children of relatives, I want to come over to see the world." ”
"Get in the car, you can park here, old rules." The bearded man didn't say anything, opened the car door and let the two people come up.
Hong Tao looked around, but still didn't see any mines on it, so he couldn't help but ask his beard: "Brother, don't you see a mine around here?" ”
"Far away." The bearded man replied impatiently.
"Then what quality of jade can we produce here?" Hong Tao had to inquire clearly, and his Spirit Gathering Array had to have at least the quality of high-grade jade to be completed.
"Heh," the bearded man sneered, "as long as you know the goods, you have all kinds of materials, if you are willing to spend money, I will take you to the mine to bring the materials out directly." ”
Hong Tao was overjoyed, and he could also go to the mine, knowing that the rough stones produced were all sampled and screened by experts, but there were no in the mine.
"If you can take us to the mines, then the money is not a problem, as for whether to buy it or not, we have to wait and see." Hong Tao took out a stack of banknotes from the schoolbag behind him and handed it to the bearded man.
This was specially prepared when he came over this time, although he had three million, but after buying a car and leaving Chen Ming with another million, there was not much left except for expenses.
Feeling the thickness of the banknote, the bearded man unceremoniously put the banknote in his jacket pocket.
glanced at Lao He, and said meaningfully with his beard: "You have to understand the rules, sneak in, sneak out, don't say anything after you go out, you know me, God knows." ”
Lao He hurriedly nodded and said yes, Hong Tao naturally agreed, he was here to find jade, not to cause trouble.
The bearded man drove for a while before arriving at the mine, although the area was desolate, but it was a jade mine, and there were several big dogs tied to their mouths alone. If it weren't for someone to lead it, it wouldn't be easy to sneak in.
"You will change into miners' clothes in a moment, and I will take you down for a long time." The bearded man is a small leader, and he took the money to take them down to the mine to see if it was not a big deal.
Lao He is the same as Hong Tao, he came to buy some rough stones screened from the mine before, and it is much cheaper to buy them from here than to buy them locally.
The two of them changed their clothes and followed behind the beard, who deliberately led them around the crowded place, just as there was a mine that had just begun to be mined, and now it was time to rest, and the machines and everything had stopped.
"It's so dark, it's scary." Lao He said, the three of them touched into the mine, just turned on the searchlight on their heads, it was pitch black inside, and it was quiet and terrible, and a chill came, Lao He couldn't help but shiver.
On the other hand, Hong Tao didn't have anything at all, the gravel palm brought him not only strength, but also his physical fitness improved a little, among these people, he was the most thinly dressed, but he didn't feel the slightest cold.
"This is it, it's all rough stones, if you bid the right price, I can get it out for you."
Under the light of the searchlight, many of the rough stones reflect a faint green light, and even those who do not know how to do it can understand that these stones are certainly not ordinary.
"Okay, I'll see." Hong Tao nodded, the light here is too dark, and I don't know if the barrage is easy to use.
"Open the Barrage Body Protector!"
Hong Tao only has a few red barrages in front of him, and there are a lot of yellowish barrages, and the barrage protector can be used here, but the shipment rate of these stones does not seem to be too high.
He looked around again, but it hadn't been mined.
When he looked to his left, a large red barrage stabbed Hong Tao's eyes hurt, and there were even sporadic purple barrages floating by.
"I want," Hong Tao stretched out his hand to his left, but as soon as the words came out, Hong Tao thought that if the quality of the stone he bought back this time was too good, it would inevitably make people blush, and it would not be good to cause unnecessary trouble when the time came.
Hong Tao pointed to the right again, and the quality of the stone here was average. "I don't want a single stone on the ground, half of each of these two sides, I can take out a total of 500,000 yuan, how many stones you can give."
System: Malicious value from Zhang Qiang +98.
Who is this Zhang Qiang? Hong Tao was a little puzzled.
The beard is really a little weak now, it's so dark here, what else can Hong Tao see?
The stones on the ground were specially sampled by experts during the day, because the quality was average, they were thrown here, originally thinking of pit Hong Tao, but I didn't expect him to want a piece.
"No problem, 500,000 yuan, I'll pull a cart for you, and I'll do it from both sides." The beard and beard agreed to come down, as long as the money is in place, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and no one knows what to do.
Hong Tao put his hand on the shoulders of the beard and whispered to him: "Remember, it is the left and right, it is better to have more on the left, you don't fool me on the ground, the long flow of water is the energy of the long flow." ”
Hong Tao patted the bearded shoulder, as for whether he understood what he meant, Hong Tao could only listen to the will of heaven.
System: Malicious value +50 from Zhang Qiang.
It seems that this bearded man is Zhang Qiang, Hong Tao is a little helpless, how can people get it out of him and he can't see it with his own eyes, for the sake of safety, Hong Tao feels that he will give Zhang Qiang a red envelope for a while, and then let Lao He talk to him well.
Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult, after all, Zhang Qiang is in charge here, even if it is Hong Tao, he is not willing to tear his face with him.
The three of them walked out of the mine, and the rest of the work had to be done with their beards, and Hong Tao and they just waited.
"Brother, we still have a chance to cooperate after this matter is done, but you must follow what I tell you." Hong Tao took out a few more bills from his schoolbag.
At this time, you can't save money, and it's not worth mentioning at all compared to money and your own strength.
It may be that Hong Tao gave money to be happy, and the beard specially arranged a place for the two of them to live, but Lao He didn't worry about his car and insisted on going back to the car to rest, and of course Hong Tao followed.
The beard was still very efficient, and by noon the next day, he came in a pickup truck.
The pickup truck was covered with a white canvas, and he should have found someone to pick the stones overnight, and now he got it directly.
"Yes, it's so fast." Just after the barrage cooled down, as soon as the beard lifted the canvas, Hong Tao saw a large red barrage, not bad, the shipment rate was three or four out of ten, which already made him very satisfied.
